Meals from reduced food in the supermarket

Credit Crunch Munch

To take part, simply blog about any money saving idea that is vaguely food related, we are especially keen to hear about substitutions for when you run out of something this month. We do do a full round up so I will be mentioning all the recipes that are submitted.

Hi I’ve added the logo to the post, sorry I didn’t realise all the rules, is there anything else I need to do. I’ll be more mindful of them in future. Great link up though.Richard recently posted…Chicken, Pek, Leek and Sage Leftover Pie

With my husband training to be a barber full time at the moment, I have had to get frugal – last month I batch cooked lasange, cottage pie, chilli and homemade chicken nuggets for the freezer, as well as stocking my freezer up with various frozen vegetables, and other stuff – I spent far less than my usual shop and we actually have quite a lot less, which meant less work and less spending this month!
